We are each other's DNA

How she knew...

We reached our destination and our jaws dropped in awe with all the beautiful sculptures and artwork collections.  Took photos and absorbed the unexplainable beautiful feeling inside the museum. 

After a few hours touring the museum, we went to the restaurant nearby, and had our dinner there. 

For some unexplainable reason, we got along so naturally, as if we have been friends for a long time.

“She is so cool, I like her.” Tae told Namjoon. “Like really, I’ve never felt so comfortable with someone I don’t know for the longest time.” He continued.

“Yeah, me too.  Or is it because she doesn’t know us?” Namjoon wondered.

“I don’t know, maybe she is just naturally nice, and also wants to practice her Korean.  I really appreciate her taking us with her tour.  I guess it’s fate.” Yoon said, “We found an instant city guide” He chuckled then looked at the menu.

“I guess it’s just right to introduce ourselves to her properly, don’t you think?” Namjoon asked the other two, which they immediately agreed.

I went back to the table after I freshened up in the bathroom “So, any decent food we can have for dinner?” I asked while I sat next to Tae.  I am facing Yoon, and NamJoon in front of Tae.

The waiter came and took our orders. 

“If I may say, I’m glad you found me before coming here.  How else will I enjoy the art if I were alone?”
“Well, I don’t think we’ll enjoy it as much if you weren’t here.  You are not bad for a city guide” NamJoon joked as he took of his mask.  The other two did the same while laughing.

“Finally! I can see your faces!  You are all so good looking like you are members of a Kpop group” I said beaming while admiring their looks in a non-obvious way.

I can’t help but admire Yoon’s soft features, and I’ve never really liked a gummy smile, but he is just carrying it in a whole new level.  And he has this pale white skin, which is the total opposite of what I like in a man… but he is very attractive. We look like peanut butter and milk standing next to each other. I brushed off the silly thoughts.  ‘Angie, you don’t have time for this.’

“WE ARE members of a K-pop group,” Yoon said, realizing I was staring at him for a few good seconds.

“I’m sorry, what?” I suddenly woke up from my stare, and shook my head.  I see them all staring at me, waiting for my reaction.

Confused, I reached for my phone and turned on my data. “Which group?”

They all shifted closer to me and whispered “Bangtan Sonyeondan.”

We finished our steak and veggies while I asked more about them.

“This is just unbelievable; I hope you had your fun.”

As I look at the very first photo, I immediately recognized them. I had to go through the other photos and look at their faces individually. I gasped. “Oh!” I covered my mouth with my hand, eyes wide, mouth open and breathing stopped.

“Is that why you have your masks on!?” I questioned them while I was stuck with my initial reaction and looked at them so shocked.

They started laughing at my reaction. “You are so cute!” Yoon said laughing at me.

“No, no, no… guys! Did you mean that I just had a museum tour with BTS right now?!” Still shocked and silently screaming.

“Technically, not all of us, but yeah…” Namjoon said still laughing.
 

“Wow, why didn’t you tell me earlier?” “I can’t believe you are still laughing at me!”

“Well, for starters, we were strangers. And your reaction is just epic!  I never thought you’d question the mask!”

“Well, duh, who wears a mask nowadays? I really wanted to ask you earlier why you have masks on, but I didn’t want to be impolite.  Now I understand why.”

“So, are you having a concert here?”
“No.  We are participating in the KCon tomorrow night. We’ll perform a few songs. You should come and watch.” Yoon invited.

“I’m not really sure.  I would love to, but I’m checking out tomorrow afternoon.” Our emotions dropped.

“Wow, I can’t believe I’m missing my first Kpop show…” We all went quiet.  “I’ll think of something. I can’t miss this. Now that I am acquainted with you, I just can’t.” I answered, already feeling regretful.

“It’s fine, we would like it if you can come, but maybe you already have plans.” Namjoon said.
“That’s the thing, I don’t have any plans.  My two-week leave has started and I didn’t have the time to plan it.”
“Wow.  You must have been really busy. You need to shake it off.” Said Yoon.
“Yep, I know.” “Let me just think about it.  Maybe it’s time to make plans now.”

We called to book a taxi going back, and turns out we are staying in the same hotel.

“This is just a coincidence.  How come we never met a few days ago? I was bored!”
“Ah, we were busy with the rehearsal and press conferences.  We only come back in the late evening.” Tae said.
